She's there in the beginning. In the earliest chapters of Genesis, we read about God creating her to be a companion for man. Together, Adam and Eve get themselves kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Then they suffer through the loss of Abel, and the exile of Cain. Eve gave birth to Abel, Cain, Seth, and other sons and daughters (Genesis 5). And we're...
Along with her father-in-law, Terah, husband, Abraham, and nephew, Lot, Sarah moved far away from home. Twice. She was also one of several women who suffered from infertility in the Bible. After suggesting Abraham go to her handmaid, Hagar, Sarah turned pretty bitter about how things turned out. That is, until she was 90, when "God did for Sarah as...

How that must have devastated her. You can trace Leah's emotional journey through the names she selected for her four sons. From Reuben (See, A Son), to Simeon (He...
There are a few chapters toward the end of Genesis that focus on Judah, who is Jacob's fourth son. One verse in the ancestry of Jesus, found in Matthew 1 shed light on this time in patriarchal history: "Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Aram" (Matthew 1:3). We're sometimes quick t...
Two images of Miriam show her to be a woman of leadership and strength.
